Details: I'm wanting to sell a pair of Reynolds DV46 UL (ultralights). 2011 model weigh around 1155gm for the pair as per the Reynolds website. These are TUBULARS. They have a pair of Vittoria Corsa Evo CX 2 tyres glued on them.

Shimano/SRAM compatible.

Come with 8 yellowstop brake pads (4 used) and Dura-ace 12-23 cassette. They DO NOT have skewers.I bought these 2nd hand. They have done 1000kms with original owner but I have not even put them on my bike. I've owned them for approx 3 months.The original owner purchased Reynold's Cycling Reassurance Program along with it which I have a copy of. Read more about it here http://www.reynoldsc...pport_assurance.

Reason for selling: I need to raise some cash for a football (soccer) caching course I want to attend. Plus as the ad states, I haven't used them and it's an absolute shame to see them sitting idle.

How do you deal with it?

1. You generally puncture less anyway2. Carry a spare, pre-glued, rolled tub3. Carry a can of sealant

Remember, you can ride on a flat tub if you have to. Changing a tub is also actually every bit as quick as changing a clincher - most people have just never tried it to realise this.

A cheap tub (Schwalbe Milano can be had for around $40) will ride as well as the best clinchers (how much for a Vittoria Open Corsa CX?!). A good tub will feel incredible.

Tubs work because they deform better over bumps and through corners, which means they grip better, feel smoother and are generally a much nicer ride.

Sure, there's a bit of faff involved to glue a tub initially, but (with a bit of luck on your side) you shouldn't need to do it too often, and once you'd done it a few times you get the process under control pretty quickly and easily anyway. Besides, it becomes cathartic and enjoyable - it's a process you just cannot get with clinchers, and definitely gives a sense of achievement and satisfaction.
